Does Nuclear Power Not Sell Newspapers?

Five days ago, In Rolls-Royce SMR Advances To Final Stage In Swedish Nuclear Competition, I wrote about Rolls-Royce being one of two successful bids to advance to the ext stage to build Small Modular Reactors for Vatenfall in Sweden.

Since then, Rolls-Royce’s Swedish success has not featured in any newspaper in the UK, not even the Financial Times.

I can only assume, that good news stories about nuclear power, don’t sell newspapers.

New Green Party Leader Was Hypnotherapist Who Claimed Women Could Increase Breast Sizes With Minds

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on The Telegraph.

This is the sub-heading.

Zack Polanski elected after victory over joint bid by Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns

These two introductory paragraphs add more details.

A former hypnotherapist who claimed women could increase their breast sizes with their minds has been elected as the new leader of the Green Party.

Zack Polanski won the ballot of party members after seeing off a joint leadership bid from Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns.

I was once asked by a member of my late wife’s chambers, if she had had a breast op. The answer was very boring and we’d gone for a holiday in Milan and she’d done some expensive underwear shopping.

Never underestimate the power of quality structural engineering.

Can You Suffer From Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease For Sixty Or More Years?

I remember my gut feeling one summer around eighteen, very much like it has done this summer.

So, have a suffered from from uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease  all those years.

I asked Google AI if you can suffer for uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease for sixty or more years and received this answer.

Yes, it’s possible to have uncomplicated pancolonic diverticulosis for sixty or more years because diverticulosis, the presence of pouches in the colon, is very common with age and often doesn’t cause any symptoms. While complications like infection (diverticulitis) can occur, most people never develop symptoms or complications from diverticulosis, allowing them to live normal lives.

I can accept that.

Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease And Stress

This afternoon, I found myself in a stressful situation and my gut played up. Was it my uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease and stress actually playing up?

So, I asked Google AI if there was a link between uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease and stress and got this answer.

While there’s no direct causal link, stress may exacerbate uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease, potentially by influencing the digestive system and increasing the risk of anxiety and depression, which are often associated with diverticular conditions. Some theories suggest stress can disrupt the autonomic nervous system, leading to spasms and inflammation that can trigger flares in diverticular disease. Managing stress through healthy lifestyle choices, such as a high-fiber diet and regular exercise, may help reduce risk and support the digestive system.

This doesn’t deny a link, but it would appear to be secondary.

The source used by Google AI is the NHS web site.

As a follow up, I asked Google AI if there was a link between uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease and a high-fibre diet and got this answer.

For uncomplicated, pancolonic diverticular disease, a high-fiber diet is recommended to prevent complications by promoting softer stools and preventing constipation. Increase fiber intake by gradually adding whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, while also drinking plenty of fluids to aid digestion and prevent bloating. A balanced, high-fiber diet can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of developing symptomatic diverticular disease.

The source used was this paper on the National Library of Medicine, which was entitled  Role Of Fiber In Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease: A Systematic Review.
